Origin Lust Sword System

Rita's complexion went pale when she saw those spooky skeletons charging toward her. They were clearly more interested in attacking than Cyrus.

Cyrus had long known this would happen because Rita could use Qi freely while he still didn't have any ounce of Qi, and he could only use his vitality as fuel to perform a spell just like the soul bliss.

Besides, he was considering it training and then some threat, especially for Rita, who had no combat experience with Qi. She had already grasped the basic of those four spells, and she was more than capable of using them in fights. She just needed experience now.

Unlike last time, Rita didn't panic and quickly snapped out of her fear as she saw Cyrus was calmly watching with a faint smile without any hint of fear.

'Hmph, since he wanted to watch a show, I'll give him the best one he has ever seen.' She thought resolutely.

She pointed her supple finger at the foremost skeleton, and the next moment icy mist suddenly released before crystalline pink Qi materialized and started to take the shape of a five-inch long pink crystal spike.

Her eyes turned sharp as she thought, 'Ice bullet!'

'Swish…'

The next moment, the pink ice spike shot toward the skeleton like a bullet, and it landed right on its skull.

But it only cracked the skull, not managed to destroy it, which simply meant the skeleton was still charging strong at her and closing in fast!

Slightly panicked, Rita quickly formed another Ice Bullet and shot it again.

However, this time the skeleton swiftly moved its head to dodge, and the ice bullet landed on the skeleton behind.

The skeleton quickly threw a bony fist toward Rita without giving her any chance to perform another spell.

Rita finally lost her calm and quickly waved her sleeve, "Ice Shield!"

A thick block of pink ice formed right in front of her, and it was right at the nick of time when the skeleton was about to punch her right in the guts.

"Boommm…"

The sound of bones smashing at the block of ice rang, and Rita was shocked when she saw the block of ice start to crack.

"What are you doing? Use ice spikes first to slow them down, and then use your ice bullets to kill them one by one!" Cyrus's dissatisfied voice rang from above.

Rita looked up and saw somehow Cyrus was now standing on the railing of the second floor, "How did you get there?" She was shocked.

"Just pay attention to your opponents. I'm just an observer." Cyrus sneered as he crossed his arms while the lust sword was still in his hand.

"Good!" Eve's relish voice rang in his mind.

While Eve was enjoying seeing Rita getting all panicked and surrounded by the skeletons, Rita felt indignant.

So, those skeletons became the only focal point of her seething rage, and without caring about her Qi consumption, she yelled furiously, "Ice Spikes!"

Yin Qi gushed out from her body and started to turn into pink ice Qi before it spread in the entire room almost instantly. The very next moment, one-meter-long pink spikes started to rise from the ground, and all those skeletons pouncing at her were all penetrated by the ice spikes.

Some of them were completely stuck because of the gaps in his bone structures, like animals on skewers.

With a hint of ecstasy, Rita was about to use ice bullets to blast those bones into bits when she suddenly felt a breeze brush past her, and the next moment, a strange melodious sound rang in her eyes with the mixture of ice getting sliced.

By the time she recovered, all those skeletons had started to cut in halves before vanishing, and only the cleaved ice spikes were left.

However, her eyes were affixed on the man standing right in front of the broken door with a long beautiful blade resting over his shoulder.

Cyrus smiled and singled her with his head, "You passed. Let's go."

"Hey, why did you help her?" Eve perplexedly complained.

"She could've easily killed them after that attack. So, why would I waste free SP?" Cyrus coolly stated.

Rita was finally snapped out of her daze before she pouted, "You could've done that before I used five percent of my Qi!"

Cyrus shrugged his shoulder, "I told you it was a test. Besides, as a spell caster, you need to learn how to fight from a distance and leave the close-range targets to me. I want you to support me in fights, so you need to learn how to judge the situation." His expression turned serious, "In the future, I'll be depending on you to have my back and make sure that no enemy will strike me from my blind spot. Although the chances of it happening are null, still we can't be too careful when supernatural is involved."

Rita was startled by this unexpected reply before she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart when she heard Cyrus was trusting her with his rear, which simply meant he trusted her with his life.

With somewhat watery eyes, she ran toward him and pounced in his embrace and looked him right in the eyes, and muttered solemnly, "Don't worry, I'll become your best supporter and your shield!"

Cyrus looked at Rita's resolute watery eyes and couldn't help but feel the warmth and want to indulge her.

The atmosphere suddenly heated as Rita felt her heart pounding, and she moved closer with her glossy lips moving ahead.

Cyrus also didn't reject her and was about to capture her lips when…

"Ahh… a skeleton!" Eve's shrill rang in his mind.

Alarmed, he breaks free from Rita and abruptly turns around with his sword move, but to his dismay, there is nothing but murky winds.

Cyrus instantly understood something, and his expression went dark, "You mischievous little…"

"What? I could've sworn I saw one. But the moment you were alerted, it ran away. Humph, coward!" Eve instantly explained righteously as if she didn't intend to ruin the moment at all.

Cyrus could only blame himself for keeping his little jealous wife out, but it won't be going to happen next time, he swore.

He looked at Rita, who was also startled by Cyrus's pushing her away and looking alarmed.

He smiled wryly and said, "Sorry, I thought it was an undead sneaking up on me. But it was a false alarm. We should start moving toward the area one now. We need to find the core before this dimension grows into silver rank. Or at least we need to clear District-A from our search list."

Although Rita was regretful about not being able to get that kiss, she was tactical enough not to bring that up when she heard Cyrus's plan. She also became serious because Cyrus had already told her about this dimension's growth-related ability.

They didn't have time to mess around, at least not until they found that dimension core.

With such thoughts, they moved out and headed toward area-13, which was a couple of blocks ahead of their current position.

---

While Cyrus was making his way toward Area A-1 of District-A.

The place itself was now filled with thick fog, which was far more potent than the soul winds of any other place in district-A.

At this moment, five ghostly shadows were moving at the periphery of A-1.

"Who would've thought we lowly ones would be given a chance to enter this world with ???." A voice like metal clunking together exclaimed in relish.

"This is our only chance when this dimension is still in the process of forming. As long as we can secure the dimension core, we'll be the true owner of this place and can easily turn things around for ourselves!" A voice with a mixture of teeth-rattling together excitedly stated.

"Heh, don't dream before you see the reality. Do you think finding the dimension core is so easy? I only heard from the General that the newly formed dimension core would be at the place with the thickest amount of Qi, but finding it is another matter.

"We still have no idea just how much this dimension could grow before it lets the others enter, but if we don't find that Dimension Core in time, we can always exchange this information about this specific area with General and get ourselves rewards." An eerie voice stated.

"No.32990232… is right, we can't depend on chances, and we still have no idea what kind of people the other side has. If they're as strong as us, then they will also target this place like us. We should find more allies." An icy cold voice suggested.

In reply, the teeth-rattling voice sounded, "You're thinking too much into this, No.390486339…. Don't you see our Soul Qi is dominating this entire dimension, and our new brethren are everywhere? This could only mean that this place is far inferior to our Skeleton Domain!"
